Globalisation and the Church

Reflections on Caritas in Veritate

By Ormerod, Neil; Oslington, Paul (co-editors) (Author)$24.95 AUD

Pope Benedict XVI’s 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth) reframes many questions about globalization, including what Benedict calls the principle of gratuity in economic relations, a recognition of the plurality of corporate activities within a market economy, and a new emphasis on sustainability.

This book, the fruit of a conference sponsored by Australian Catholic University, will help those who struggle with their Christian vocation in the context of globalisation to clarify their thinking and sharpen their practice.
